[edit] Trivia
- The television movie Babylon 5: Thirdspace takes place between this episode and the next. There are some inconsistencies but placing the movie anywhere else creates greater inconsistencies as it had to happen after the Shadow War but before Marcus and Franklin depart for Mars.
- This episode has been used in several university journalism courses as a lesson in how much the truth can be distorted by a news report. As noted in the episode, there is no large crisis while the report is being done and everyone is careful to use short, non-commital sentences, and the ISN editors are still able to make it into an entirely false propanganda piece.
